What makes women look older than their actual age?

Besides bad habits , I had observed that women age faster when they have problems with their husbands or boyfriends, failed marriages, failed relationships etc.. maybe because they are deprived of sleep, they are compelled to over eat or under eat, engage in bad habits like drinking and smoking to calm them down. I had observed this in lots of people I know thru the years.

For me it is because they can't totally manage there way of living to handle the kid's in time to discipline specially if they raise in there age of 16-20 many risk to the parents about that age and plus the economy if they are not peace maker they re peace beaker then the get old than to there age.

Premature aging. Ugh! One thing is for women not to smoke. THis causes crows feet and wrinkles around the mouth. Women need to know how to apply make-up, night creams, etc. Doing it the right way is like a natural face lift in itself. Caligen and elistigen(sp)break down as you age and these can't really be replaced although there are night creams and things that can help for a time. Drinking plenty of water and getting enough rest are very important. Keeping up on your doctor's check ups and any genetic ailments is important as well. Exercise and keeping your core in good shape will keep you strong and there for young longer. Loving and having positive reinforcement in your life is doubly important. Positive attitude and having good relationships is a help also. And being on Mylot may be of help too. Happy holidays.

Well I'm 21 years old and usually I get told I look like I'm sixteen, but I don't tan often and I try my best not to eat junk food all the time and I don't smoke.. but who knows maybe when I'm older I will look older than what I am.

Stress is women's number one skin enemy. We should avoid stress as much as possible. More often than not, women look old than they're actually are because of worries, pressures and problems. So I think women must pamper themselves once in a while like go to spa's or travel away from their busy world so they can give quality time for themselves to relax.

True, modern lifestyles are definitely spoiling women health and making them look old.Women working in high pressure and long hours job look most aged because of insufficient sleep, stress, usually they become foodie preferring junk food to beat the stress.Unless they get consious of their looks and take care to protect them , they are aging real fast.
